This is one of the best songs Avenged Sevenfold ever wrote. I highly recommend anyone who is a fan of good music to listen to this. It’s not hardcore and there’s no screaming. It’s a heartfelt song and you can hear it in M. Shadows’s voice. Everyone should hear it
I lie in your soothing arms, lord Hypnos
your garment alive with your song
I lie in your soothing arms, lord HypnosSteep the spiral to your far abode,
in the wake of slumber, on visions I rode
and fell like history through the chasm of ages
into the charged, forbidden zonesHow I have searched
through a million worlds and faces
yet unaware, I have not found
my own true face, traceless and profoundSo, find me in these grandiose halls
where long ago summers eternally fall
and tune the strings of truthful longing
to the frozen music of godsHypnagonia’s lucid horizons
play with the yearning I’ve quelled
as I strike towards the Pantheon
and what therein is held
And to reflect is to regret
Throwing it all away
And apathy my one way street
It took so much from me
Separated by this divide I created through my fears
And in your tears you tried to show
Blind eyes and tell deaf earsIf we can make it through the landslide standing
We’ll lift each other up to see the bliss on the horizon
Been looking in from the outside lately
I’ve seen who I used to be and it’s not meAnd we can keep healing
And we can keep holding onI just want to take you where our time won’t waste anymore
Through the mountains on the water we’ll stay engulfed in one another
And when I can wake up to see the sunrise in you eyes
then we’ll finally be free and I’ll know I’ve made it homeSo lets go out west and bask in the overcast
And walking through the rain we’ll see the beauty in life againlife again
And to reflect is to regret
Throwing it all away
And apathy my one way street
It took so much from me
Separated by this divide I created through my fears
And in your tears you tired to show
Blind eyes and tell deaf earsWe can keep healing
All alone
We can keep holding on
With a Thousand Words to Say but One by Darkest Hour
This one is a personal favorite as these lyrics pretty much nailed a situation I found myself in one time.
For so long I
Have felt alone
Content to live with unrest
Longing faded into countless
Nights that buried my
Weary heart
You brought an end
To this dead hour
And meaning to
A calloused lifeHeld in Your arms
But too far from my heart
(2x)These thoughts will carry me
Through the darkest nights
While your eyes rest in…
These thoughts will carry me
Through the darkest nights
While your eyes rest in mineI remember the way you looked
At me not the way you drew
Drew me close
With one deep sigh
Scattering pieces of my
My restless mind
Forgetting all that weWe have left behind (4x)
These thoughts will carry me
Through the darkest nights
While your eyes rest in…
every word that falls from my lips falls on deaf ears and I suffocate
now righteousness cast aside thrown to the ground
I close my eyes and I see you there
but my eyes deceive me every other sense says I’m alone
now waking hours melt to sleepness nights and all fear has left me
if I could learn from my past
I’d posess the strength to walk away let your sweet taste fall from my lips
but it resonates
and now I hold this so dear to let it fade would tear me apart
if I now left this all behind simply turned and walked away
would the dawns light fall upon my face to end this tragedy
still deep in the long black behind the shimmering blue
I’d swear that I have seen the last soul that I care to
so this is passion and it crawls upon my skin
and it sinks into my bones and I am whole again
and I feel it filling me and I pray it will never end
now it burns within my veins
and I am writing in ecstasy
My teeth taste funny today…they seem more jagged than normal.
I’ve been told that I have been grinding them like the gears during my dream hours…
I wonder if it’s just my thoughts fusing into one frequent dream…
one which parts with the night.
(There are frequent amongst the walking crawlers).
I saw them dragging the other day.
Scraping their knees and elbows against the bumpy pavement.
Blood tracks have been filling the streets.
Seems the high horse is taking them all home…
I can’t leave myself out.
Why should we sleep today…
why should we awake tomorrow?
We can just pop back a few and drift though this pre-programmed flight.
Across all oceans…a windy, noisy trek…
this seems to be what I’ve needed.
The view used to be better…lands are growing into one.
We wanted it this way. We were brought up to grow into one.
I’m going to fly up soon and seek other lands. The soothing air of flight…
a bird’s eye view into what I’ve always imagined life could be.
Will it be sought after?
It might just be useless writing and ideas that laziness will corrupt in the end.
Bones of dust need hardening. I think the prescription is found.Sleep on…fly on.
In your mind, you can fly.My teeth grin oddly today…
they seem to gleam more than normal.
Maybe it will be noticed.
(That’s all we ever asked for. Grinning through it all……)(In the corner the thinker things: I seem more jagged than normal.
I am the episode of constant wandering.
A nomad in my own surroundings…this hand produces the nerve.)
“Kezia, my darling, please never forget this world’s got the substance of a frozen summer silhouette,”
Said my mother through lips that were cracked with love and toil
before she added, “the warmest of blankets is six feet of soil”
She wore perfume called Pride that smelled a lot more like Shame
so when she walked into the room I was sleeping, heard her curse my father’s name;
It was our situation, our position, our gender to blameIt was the lonely grey of my father’s eyes staring back in the mirror’s frame
Mother oh mother, I’m shaking while I write
tonight I’ll stay awake and try to breathe away my frightThere’s a letter waiting for me, that I have yet to read
‘Cause I know it’s not from you
you’re the only one I need, you’re the only one I need
I’m tired and I’m cold and I want to go to bed
But there’s no one here to tuck me in, so the shotgun will instead
I’m tired I’m cold, but this shot gun will instead
(I want to go to bed I want to go to bed) I want to
No one here to tuck me in so this shot gun will
